The article merely goes to validate the widely held opinion that A.S.H. is governed by ......, ......s and money whores. How they can even hold their views and keep a straight face defies belief. ASH is more like a fascist organisation than a legitimate concern.
Not just that, but their ideology is a dangerous one. Most, if not all, of their beliefs come from the hand of that power-driven demented Banzhaf, and not through any sort of scientific data to back up their claims.
A good example is they say that the CDC reported that 30 minutes of exposure of
tobacco smoke triggers fatal heart attacks. Yet there is absolutely no link to anything the CDC said officially that substantiates that outlandish claim. None whatsoever. Yet, ASH is using the Centers for Disease Control as a source for a health alert, one the CDC NEVER EVEN MADE.
Stuff like this is dangerous, because it will confuse the public and cloud any sort of scientific truth.
The other dangerous aspect is they advocate not allowing smoking parents visitation rights even if they SMOKE OUTSIDE. Plus encourage bringing up the subject of smoking in court during custody battles. You have to PAY to find these tidbits out, though. $$$CACHING$$
Another outlandish claim was that a smokers breath can also be harmful to a non smokers health. Again, NO scientific evidence to back it up.
List goes on. But people fall for it and as long as there is any more $$CACHING$$, Banzhaf will make any outlandish claim he wants and site any source he wants even if the story is a bold faced lie.
I should go sit in front of Banzhalfs office and vape my head off.
